Park show in review!

For those of you who don't know, Cut Division held a pretty massive (relatively speaking) park show in Dolores Park last Friday afternoon. Overall the show turned out to be a huge success and I can say everyone involved had a ton of fun.

Before Cut Division was formed, people within our large circle of friends had held several park shows in both Dolores Park and in Golden Gate Park, all in San Francisco. They were always a blast but they tended to get shut down quickly because we used outlets on a bus stop to power the PA and the amps, the authorities did not like us "stealing" MUNI's power. Most of the park show's leading up to this one featured two, three, or at most four bands. We usually drew crowds of 20-30 people. This time, however, was much different. We had many more bands, being TSA, St. Mawr, Slow Loris, The Egads, Blood Orgy, Hi Ho Silver!, and Tinkture. Thanks to our heavy promotion of the show this time, we had a good 60 people in attendance. Maybe even more. Of Montreal's Bryan Poole was even there! This time, we also chose to use a generator so there would be a very minimal chance of our shindig getting shut down. We'll be sure to have another, even bigger park show soon. And we want to see YOU out there!

Here are some photos from the afternoon from Jeremy Dosetter and Jenny Howell, thanks guys! I must say in these pictures it doesn't look like there were many people there, but there were. They were just sitting further back from the music.
